“Veronica polita Fr. Nov. Suec. p. 2 ec, ut singula a me

those of my own notes and specimens, and such records as I 
could ascertain since the publication of Mr. Townsend’s mono-

262. E. previema Burn. & Gremli. Add b. subeglandulosa 
Towns. ; I do not, however, know of any published description.
